I get Ribbings

[swampratt]

Thanks guys.
The drawers were made from pine boards left outside at the house.
Cabinet doors were almost all free scrap birch plywood. I had to buy 1 sheet.

The stainless sink and faucet was headed to the scrap yard due to it being bent.
Free there also.

Now the Window AC unit I paid for and it cools the entire house 14,000 btu.

When I say free sometimes I must mow a yard to get it or barter some stuff..
Trading back and forth you know.

That counter top looks great, nothing wrong with free and collecting stuff. Nothing wrong with barter system, its been around for a very long time. So it must work.

Looks good Swampratt. Glad it worked for you.

Glad you had it.
Worth the drive just to meet with you even if there isn't any free stuff.

Nothing wrong with being frugal and resourceful. Nice work!

I like to have some fun with swampratt once in a while, but really I'm very impressed with his ability to take almost anything and make something useful out of it.

Swampratt...

...the fellow that every OSA member would want to hang out with when the SHTF.

Or, just when one wants to be inspired.

Good job, Sir.

(But, the $64,000 question is whether you are "eating the ribbings?")

You done real good on the countertop @swampratt.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not all that handy and sometimes get stumped changing a light bulb........I'm still really impressed with the AR stock set that you built from scratch.
